Sunniside Public Realm, Sunderland

Contract fee: 500K

The Sunniside Partnerships chose to continue working with RLD on the street improvements around the new Sunniside Gardens as an extension of the high quality design found at the gardens. This would integrate art from three different artists including Kapok light columns, Charlie Davidson seating and Bill Fontana sound art.

We have worked closely with The Sunniside Partnership to go through an artist selection stage, design initial street layouts and work with city engineers and artists on fine details, technical drawings and tender documents.

Our key concept on the scheme was to return the ‘lineaments of the street’. By reinstating traditional line, common sense parking and a programme of street de-clutter we have successfully managed to restore human proportions and views to the street, which help link it into the rest of the town.

Through this project we have worked closely with Robert Slinger of Kapok who has lead in 3D visual presentations and art work coordination.
